HotBox Pizza

Blah, blah, blah. That was my pizza. It was so sad. I was so sad. Seriously though, no flavor. How do you even make a pizza with no flavor?
Drunk, starving, desperate for pizza me would not even order this again.

Have had this pizza many times and it is mediocre at best. I often wish I had a frozen pizza instead of ordering from here as the pizza is bland and tastes like cardboard.

I want to say that I really like the pizza deal they often run where you get a large pizza, bread sticks, and drinks for 16 dollars. That’s amazing! However, the last time we were there, they give us pizza and bread sticks that were so salty that they weren’t edible! We now ask them for dough that’s salt free!

So I just ordered a pizza from Hot Box Pizza in Broad Ripple. I ordered an XL Supreme on thin crust with no green peppers. Guess what was on the pizza when it got here? Yup. Green peppers. I called the store and asked the manager and he said that the order didn’t say no green peppers. I told him that I have an email that says no green peppers. He said that when you order online they have to transpose the order into their local system, and that is where the error occurred. Really? So he sent me another pizza. When THAT one got here it looked like someone had thrown the box on the floor, stomped on it, dumped out the pizza, scraped it off the floor threw it back into the box and then delivered it. NOW I was pissed. I called back the store and the manager sort of implied I was being a jerk, especially when I asked for a complete refund and was told that it would take 3 – 4 days… So apparently Hot Box has no problem taking your money when you order a pizza, but for a refund they take their own sweet time. Broad Ripple is kind of small. We don’t have a lot of options for delivery, but luckily a Domino’s is opening in the strip mall soon and I will have other options. Thanks Hot Box — I know where I will be spending my money in the future. Which is REALLY sad, because I love their pizza!

Wow. Their pizza is delicious. Or maybe I think it’s so delicious because I’m addicted to waiting for the super affordable pie of the week. I love that they have these deals because then you can try their different pizzas for a fraction of the cost. So if you don’t like it (which hasn’t happened) you don’t feel like you’ve thrown away your money. Honestly, very affordable for the quality. It seems like they use very fresh ingredients. Try the ballsagna, you won’t be disappointed. Unless you don’t like banana peppers

Complimented the pizza guy cause he looked like the drummer from The Roots. Personally, that’s awesome I’d enjoy that… But I guess only black people are allowed in that establishment after 3am cause I was kicked out bc they thought we were talking shit. Low class, not worth your time.

Ok I took a group of students to hot box for lunch. They loved it and do did I (it really is good pizza). All is forgiven. My other experience was user error. Oops!

Had a really bad experience at Giordano’s before this. Ordered delivery from here and had such a different experience. The food was quickly at my door, and the delivery driver was super polite. The pizza was great as well.

Let’s be totally honest here, this is drunk food, that happens to be pizza, happens to be hot and happens to be in the area your drinking. We got something pizza, something pepperoni, something cheese, whatever I don’t even know what we paid, I think it was a medium, I got heartburn or maybe it was the vodka. IDK. Pretty bad when your buzzed and it still ranks 2 stars. If your coming out of the vogue or any other establishment and you need pizza, caveat emptor.

It seems to me every time I order from them the quality goes down. One order took over an hour to deliver, next time the pizza was barely warm. There’s seems to be no consistency. It’s not bad pizza but for the price and customer service its just okay

I would probably give this place five stars if I was drunk, because I seem to love HotBox after one or seven drinks. I had the winter pie SOBER, and I couldn’t stop eating this mac n’ cheese pie.

Hotbox just wasn’t as good as I remembered… We got pizza and bread sticks for a pre-​Christmas celebration. The pizza was fine, but really just ok. Same with the bread sticks. Certainly not what I remembered from the old «Pizza Express» days. Also, the prices have skyrocketed. I remember when the «Big 10» was a pizza, 10 sticks and 2 drinks for $ 10. Now «The Deal» is like $ 17 and is a pizza, 6 sticks and 2 drinks. I guess inflation has taken its hold.
If you wanting great pizza skip HotBox. If you want nostalgia and reasonably good pizza and bread sticks, then give HotBox a shot.

Again excellent! I gave review before and gave great review. This time we ordered over phone a skinny crust supreme and when I got there in broad ripple location was greeted by very nice staff and pizza was ready ahead of time. Very very tasty and light. Love the hip vibe of this place and good service and food.

First time here and it is the definition of four out of five stars. The place was empty except for the employees (given the time of the day, 2pm, this was expected).They had a lot of pizza options, size and ingredients, the employees were extremely friendly. We ordered and it only took 15 minutes to cook our pizza. It was super hot, but after it cooled down the pizza was pretty good. We got the 10″ Porky the Pie. Everything was awesome but it wasn’t outstanding, not a place I would go out of my way to eat at, but there were no complaints at all about the experience.

I ordered a pizza with delivery and it took over an hour for them to deliver it, and the pizza was cold. Never ordering from here again.

Everyone in the Indianapolis area has (or knows someone who has) Hot Box Pizza’s signature stubby plastic cup (you know.. . the one that says «cup» on it). I do not utilize plastic dining implements at home, but I have reused the cups for sprinkling grass seed, driveway salt, and all manner of other things. But, I digress.. .
The pizza is alright. This is not a destination spot. This is the place you call when you want a relatively inexpensive pizza delivered, but don’t want to settle for Domino’s or the other big chains. This is the place you go after you’ve seen a show at the Vogue, because you’re starving and it’s late and it’s open and why not? That’s not to say it’s not good. It is good.

Great HOT pizza… even at 2 AM in Broad Ripple. The only thing I used to get here were the breadstix with cheese and ranch. Definitely glad I can now add pizza to the repertoire.

I had a coupon for a free pizza so we checked out Hotbox. The counter person was friendly and took our order of a pizza, bread sticks and 2 sodas. We got our drinks and the bread was right up. Decent breadstick and sauce with cheese. The pizza came up 10 to 15 mi later. It looked and smelled really great. It was pretty good pizza, not great not bad, just avg. I actually loved the crust. I think there was something about the sauce to was too much like Papa Johns, I hate Papa Johns. We ate about half and took the rest home where it sat in the fridge. It was the best pizza I ever had for the price we paid. Would we go back, probably not with so many other pizza joints in town. But if a friend said hey let’s go to HotBox we would go.

I have good memories of hot box from the pizza express days back when we would order the big ten special back in the days of the condom mascot.
There really isn’t anything special about the pizza: regular hand tossed with regular sauce and toppings. My two favorite things about hot box are the ubiquitous and well known reusable cups and the tasty seasoning on the breadsticks.
Hot box prices are competitive with the dominos and papa johns of the world. There are groupon and other deals available on occasion.

Oh hotbox. You’re perfect for so many occasions.
Feeling hungry and need to feed your family? Grab the meal deal option.
Feeling hungry and want to try something new without spending a fortune on a pie? Get the pie of the week (check social media for the secret code) and get any size of that pie half off.
Feeling too drunk from the Broadripple bars? Pop in for some amazing breadsticks. Plus, if you eat here before going out on the Broadripple town they will hold your leftovers for you until you’re done.
If you’ve never been check it out. It’s not the most gourmet pizza in town, but it’s pretty local and pretty delicious.
